Intro - the "NEW" past tense - "El imperfecto". Using photos from my life I shared some stories about where I used to live, what I was like at that time and what I used to do. As students listened, they filled in a comprehension/ information chart. During our debriefing, students noticed they had observed all of the major forms of the "Imperfecto".

4A - Lesson Into - we went over the goals on page 185, and then read/listened the lesson opener on pages 186-187, and then practiced pronouncing the new words. We also did the comprehension activities using the new vocabulary in context; Activities 1 & 2, page 187.
Handout: NEW vocabulary lists = Lessons 4A & 4B together.
